      Pros

      Great mission and loyal coworkers for the most part.

      Cons

      Promotion system is corrupt and many people are promoted based on how they look on paper vs. how competent they are in their job duties. It also, and unfortunately, has a "who you know" element to the system.

      Pros

      The national guard is different than the reserves because in addition to following federal orders you also follow state orders. So any state emergencies snow, flooding etc you can be called up to go help out. State orders may be more common and easier last minute items to obtain than federal. Thus, they can occur much more frequently in the guard than the reserves.

      Cons

      Getting placed on orders can be disruptive for family, job, or school. I've known many soldiers that had to drop quarters of school because they got called up for something.
